Who would be your favourite celebrity service user?

This week, Britney Spears was the latest in a long line of celebrities to have a very public meltdown. But is she the celebrity most in need of social services intervention? We want to hear from you – the people work alongside troubled people every day.

The singer lost custody of her two children to her ex-husband Kevin Federline after Judge Scott Gordon said: “Based on the evidence presented, the court finds that there is a habitual, frequent and continuous use of controlled substances and alcohol by Ms Spears.”

Britney is by no means the first celebrity to have problems and it’s unlikely she’ll be the last. Often the desperate bid for fame and pressure of being in the public spotlight can result in celebrities facing their own problems while they try and deal with it.

Here are some comments made be celebrities themselves about their various comments? Would one of the following be the celebrity you would choose to help, or are there others out there more in need of help?
